Peruvian Torch

I've heard a lot about this stuff, where can you buy it? I know you can buy seeds online and grow it yourself...but what about buying mature cacti? Is this something you can regularly find at stores?

I have noticed a lot of Internet businesses that offer Trichocereus peruvianus(Peruvian Torch) grow them on more of a production scale, instead of growing them slow to produce higher alkaloid content. With Trichocereus bridgesii this is not a problem as it produces a consistent amount of alkaloids. If I was you I would try ordering some bridgesii mid sections or a few rooted cuttings. Don't get anything powdered unless you know someone who has used the company before, for identification purposes.

See that's just the thing I don't know much about it


Places sell it cut up already...dried, powdered....I just don't know what to buy or who to buy from.....

what is it? i have never heard of this.

you will want it fresh.

get Trichocereus pachanoi... (san pedro). get a couple cuttings, plant them, keep them for a couple months after they root, keep them in the dark for a week untill they look like they are getting a little wrinkly... then eat 1/2 to 1 foot section prepared like the indians do it. i would explain it but you could just look it up on EROWID.com... it's my bible. its a great place.
